Summary: Basic guide to crystals
Review: Because of their beauty and qualities, crystals have been used by mankind for many millennia. Nowadays they are used for decoration, in industry and in medicine. This book is a simple but beautifully illustrated guide to these gems.

In the chapter Living With Crystals, the author gives advice on choosing, cleansing and programming your crystals. The subsequent chapters deal with the use of crystals for a variety of purposes and include lists of helpful crystals in every case. These purposes include healing: physical, emotional and mental and how to make gem remedies; protection: safeguarding the aura and how to make talismans and amulets; divination with crystal balls; the qualities of crystals in dispersing negative energy, inducing peace, vitality, grounding, intuition and abundance; astrology: the crystals of earth, water, air and fire; wisdom, including crystals of vision, insight and wisdom for use in meditation.

Then follows the crystal directory that provides photographs, the source, appearance, properties and position in which to wear more than 150 stones. There are beautiful colour illustrations and photographs throughout the book and it concludes with an index and a list of suppliers of crystals and gem remedies. This book is a basic guide; for a more comprehensive treatment of crystals, I recommend this author's The Crystal Bible or Love Is In The Earth by Melody.
